Six people have been injured following a stabbing incident in a Milan supermarket, including Arsenal defender Pablo Marí.
One of those injured is believed to have died. Three are reported to be in a serious condition and Mr Marí is not among them, although he was taken to a hospital in Milan.
Reports in Italy say the incident occurred at a Carrefour supermarket in Assago, near Milan, after a 46-year-old man stole a knife and began attacking customers. He was arrested by police and taken into custody.
Speaking after Arsenal’s 2-0 Europa League defeat against PSV Eindhoven, team manager Mikel Arteta said the club had been in contact with Mr Marí’s family.
